Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: The heart rate and blood pressure are decreased because the metabolic needs of the body are reduced with hypothermia. With fewer metabolic needs, the workload of the heart decreases. Therefore increased heart rate and increased blood pressure, Increased heart rate and decreased blood pressure, and decreased heart rate and increased blood pressure are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: The best source of calcium is dairy products. Women with lactose intolerance need other sources of calcium. Calcium is present in dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli, legumes, nuts, and dried fruits. Spinach contains calcium, but it also contains oxalates that decrease cal-cium availability. Additionally, creamed spinach may not be tolerated by a client with a lactose intolerance. Orange juice does not contain significant amounts of calcium unless it has been for-tified with calcium. Cheese is a dairy product and cannot be eaten when the client has lactose intolerance.
